👁 In the Glass:
Bright ruby red with a translucent core—fresh, refined, and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and earthy with aromas of forest fruits, redcurrants, and raspberries. Hints of wild herbs and a light peppery spice give it a delicate, savoury complexity.

👅 On the Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a fine-boned structure and vibrant acidity. Juicy red berries and subtle spice glide across a silky texture, finishing with finesse, minerality, and a whisper of wildness that lives up to its name.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A beautiful match for duck breast, mushroom tart, roast chicken, or grilled salmon. Its brightness and elegance make it a versatile red for both lighter and earthy dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now, but can evolve over 5–7 years, gaining more savoury nuance and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Sauvage’ is a spirited and graceful Loire Valley Pinot Noir—crafted with restraint and authenticity. With its lifted fruit, vibrant structure, and mineral backbone, Pascal Jolivet offers a red that’s as refreshing as it is refined. A hidden gem for Burgundy lovers seeking something a little wilder.
